About

Hidden Falls is a waterfall in Glacier National Park in Montana, about 12 miles from the town of St. Mary. It sits at roughly 5,000 feet, and several short trails start within a mile of it, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the park's network of footpaths. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in St. Mary show July and August highs around 73°F with lows in the mid-40s, and those months also see the fewest wet days of the year. The closest trails are Grinnell Lake Trail, about 0.3 miles away, and Grinnell Glacier Trail, about 1.2 miles away. Josephine Walk and the South Shore Josephine Lake Trail are both within a mile.
